The story begins with a historical event — the 1672 lynching of the
Dutch
Grand Pensionary (roughly equivalent to a modern Prime Minister)
Johan de WittJohan de Witt and his brother Cornelis, by a wild mob of their own
countrymen — considered by many as one of the most painful episodes
in Dutch history, described by Dumas with a dramatic intensity.
The main plot line, involving fictional characters, takes place in the
following eighteen months; only gradually does the reader understand
its connection with the killing of the de Witt brothers.
The city of Haarlem, Netherlands, has set a prize of ƒ100,000 to the
person who can grow a black tulip, sparking competition between the
country's best gardeners to win the money, honour and fame

Georges Danton
Georges Jacques Danton (French: [ʒɔʁʒ dɑ̃tɔ̃]; 26 October
1759 – 5 April 1794) was a leading figure in the early stages of the
French Revolution, in particular as the first president of the
Committee of Public Safety. Danton's role in the onset of the
Revolution has been disputed; many historians describe him as "the
chief force in the overthrow of the French monarchy and the
establishment of the First French Republic".[1]
He was guillotined by the advocates of revolutionary terror after
accusations of venality and leniency toward the enemies of the
Revolution.[clarification needed]Contents1 Early life
